I was promoting Lemmy in the place that I was supposed to.

    Drag got permabanned on the first offence on the new 196 for telling a suicidal person that it’s better to commit luigi than commit suicide. They don’t like it when you promote violence against neo-nazis and ceos on that community, even if you’re doing it to give someone a reason not to die.

      For the record the user was also disabled and their disability played directly into drag’s heinous encouragement. This ableist violent rhetoric was deemed inappropriate both by 196 community mods and Blahaj admins for different yet related reasons. That behavior was violent, triggering, and absolutely unacceptable for any instance and community that values minority or oppressed groups even a little.

      This is following the user’s real history of similar suicide encouragement in other communities.

      cc @9bananas@lemmy.world because I am just sick of this user getting to spread lies and twisted truths about a community whose mods’ only sin is having basic empathy.

        yo, read my comment again.

        it wasn’t specifically about the ban drag received:

        my comment was only in reference to the mass bans of any remotely positive, or even just neutral (and my case not even directly connected) comment about luigi…

        it has nothing to do with any ableist or bigoted shit, just about the ridiculous zealotry by the .world mods specifically about “promoting violence” and making up rules on the spot, on violation of the .world ToS and rules of conduct, which explicitly state that ban should always cite the rule being broken.

        i know exactly nothing about drags behavior that led to their ban, but since i do know how trigger happy .world mods are about luigi comments and posts, i made the assumption that it was just that.

        thank you for providing the relevant context.

        that said, please keep in mind that my comment is not in support of drag and their behavior, and is instead solely a criticism of the general mod behavior on .world and asklemmy specifically.

        honestly shouldn’t be surprised, the ask[thing] communities tend to have overzealous moderation on any platform…

          oops! i absolutely read and appreciated your comment before commenting but maybe i didn’t make it clear that i don’t have any ill will toward you at all and just wanted to loop you in. i do apologize if me ccing you caused any sense of abrasion—wasn’t intentional at all if so!

          just making sure that history doesn’t get rewritten :)

            all good, thanks for the clarification!

      that’s all of .world…

      .world has some really odd ideas about “promoting violence”, especially given that there are literally nazis marching the streets in the U.S. and germany…like, the nazis can scream “kill all the [insert slur]!” on the streets just fine, but woe be the anti-fascist on .world that says that maybe, just maybe, it’s time to do something about, you know, THE NAZIS.
